英语长句翻译

英语长句通常指20个单词以上的单句,由于英语句子除其主干结构以外,还有各种修饰语,如非谓语动词、定语从句、介词短语、复合结构等等,定语套定语,修饰语中再套上修饰语,形成了峰回路转、迂回曲折、错综复杂的结构,要准确地译成汉语,确实不容易。

死搬硬套原文的表达方式和表达结构往往会使译文变成英语味道十足的汉语,艰涩难懂,语流堵塞严重,可读性自然很差,根本无法展现汉语的语言特色和优美。

遇到难句长句,首先要把握整个句子的中心意思,然后采取依托中心词层层分解的方式翻译。

第一顺译法顺译法就是指在保证意思准确、行文通顺的前提下按照英语原句的结构顺序翻译成汉语的方法,最大程度地再现原文的风格,是长句翻译过程中首先要考虑的方法。

不过,所谓顺译法,并不是一词一句都按照英语原句的顺序来翻译,而是指句中的各个语法成分基本按照原文的先后顺序来翻译。

顺译法的成功翻译体现了英汉在句子结构和表达习惯方面所存在的共相部分,最大程度地体现了英汉之间的“可译性”。

Unexplained disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle have continued to the present and no plane or ship was reported to be overdue and finally classed as “search discontinuing’ by the Seven Coast Guard without expressed or unexpressed comment or feeling among the public or searchers that there was some connection with the past and present phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle.[原译]百慕大魔鬼三角洲的神秘失踪现象一直持续到今天。

如果在公众和搜索队员们中间不存在有关此事与百慕大魔鬼三角洲的历史现象存在某种联系的表达出或未表达出的评论或感觉,也就不会有飞机或船只被报道说延期到达并被美国第七海岸警卫队宣布“搜索停止”了。

[改译]百慕大魔鬼三角洲的神秘失踪现象一直延续至今,因而,每当有报道说某飞机或船只逾期未抵而最后美国第七海岸警卫队宣布“停止搜索”,公众和搜索队员们难免有意无意地评论一番,或是流露出某种神情。

看得出,他们都认为此事与百慕大魔鬼三角洲的历史现象存在某种联系。

[译文评析]本句属于结构复杂的英语长句,正确理解句子结构、把握句子的基本脉络尤其重要。

在此基础上,翻译得是否清晰而流畅,则取决于译者运用翻译技巧的熟悉程度。

通过比较不难看出,原译对英语长句的理解是正确的,但表达却与原文的流畅风格相去甚远。

改译利用汉语逻辑关系的优势以及短句的优势,巧妙地通过原语中潜在的“时间关系”和分句译法,按照原句的基本行文顺序,译成“每当有报道说…, (公众和搜索队员们)难免有意无意地评论一番…”辅以一定的增益(如“流露出…”、“看得出”)连接上下文,大大增加了译文语意的清晰度,增强了译文的可读性。

整个译文自然流畅,行如流水,完全摆脱了原文复杂结构的束缚。

09年We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency – a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here.我们人类,正面临全球性的危机,我们的生存和文明受到威胁。

尽管我们聚在一起共商对策,而灾难却在扩大,形式不容乐观。

Instead of being freer and happier than ever before,they had assumed new responsibilities,they had established a new household, and must fulfill in someway or another the obligations of it. They looked back with affection to their engagement; they had been longing to have each other to themselves, apart from the world, but it seemed that they never felt so keenly that they were still units in modern society.本文选自朱厄特的文章《新生活》The New Life by Sarah Jewett 2008 生活并没有比以前更自由、更幸福,因为他们要去承担新的责任。

既然成立了一个新的家庭,那就无论如何也要尽一点家庭的义务。

他们深情地回想起订婚的那段时光,曾经如此地渴望拥有彼此而忘掉这个世界,然而现在最深切的感受却是自己仍是这个世界的一份子。

第二拆译法英汉翻译中,我们常会遇到英语句式长、内在结构和成分复杂等现象,翻译时则需要这些复杂成分从长句的主干结构中抽离出来,译成外位成分,或是外形上相对独立却与原搭配成分保持“藕断丝连”关系的语言单位(常为句子),以保证信息传递的准确性和完整性,同时保持很好的译文可读性。

这种翻译方法称为“拆译法”。

[例]When Smith was drunk, he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius, and abuse, with a good deal of cleverness, and sometimes with perfect reason, the fools, his brother painters.[原译]史密斯一喝醉酒时就痛骂世界忽视他的才华,并比较聪明地、有时也是特别有理性地辱骂他那些傻瓜同行画家们。

[改译]史密斯醉酒后不是满嘴牢骚,就是骂骂咧咧。

他抱怨世人不赏识他的才华;他痛骂他的画家同行都是笨蛋。

他骂得不仅特别讥诮,而且有时骂得也头头是道。

[译文评析]分句采用先拆开句子结果,把二个主要动词的意思先译出来,然后再回过来“分段实施、层层推进、各个击破”的翻译策略译各自的宾语或修饰语,不失为翻译中的经典范例。

原文的动词具有很强的引领功能,不仅有两个相对独立而有对称的结构紧跟其后,而且每个结构又有两个介词短语构成,前一个结构本身又自带了两个独立而对称的结构,使得整个句子在一个动词的引领下绵延不断,但有具有千丝万缕的联系。

这种典型的英语结构翻译成汉语时如果采用以上“分段实施、层层推进、各个击破”的翻译方法,经常可以体现形散而神不散的效果,起到传神的翻译效果。

由于原文是两个主体结构,本句先通过拆句法将rail译成“不是满嘴牢骚,就是骂骂咧咧”,这是第一段;继而将两个对称的介词短语译成分译成“抱怨世人不赏识他的才华;他痛骂他的画家同行都是笨蛋”;最后一段译第一个结构中的两个with结构,再次译出对称美。

整个句子通过分段翻译、各个击破的翻译,不仅将英语的“形合”特点转换成汉语的“意合”优势,而且还保持了原文的对称结构美。

此译法没有简单地使用词汇重复法,而是使用同义词代之,以使各分支结构的自然衔接,使语意更加清晰,使语流更加通畅。

真题长句分析:1.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from thatsituation,but exalted, as was usual,and solemnized by the power of dreams.(2010)就在我的面前展现出了那么一番景色,从我那个位置其实能够尽收眼底,可是梦里的感觉往往如此,由于梦幻的力量,这番景象显得超凡出尘,一派肃穆气象。

第三倒译法英语中有时会遇到修饰语连续不断、句子结构错综复杂的现象(如定语从句的先行词同时又是某个作修饰语的介词短语的宾语),环环相扣,层层修饰;有时也很遇到在同一个句子中出现主观结论和客观事实相结合的现象,句子中先说主观感受、后说客观事实。

遇到以上这些情况时,前种情况是先译后面的修饰语部分,将定语从句和先行词采用溶合法译成一个分句,再译先行词前面的修饰语内容,从句后向句前步步分解、层层推进。

后种情况则先译句后的客观事实,再译句前的主观感受,如结论、推断和个人感受,先展开,后收拢。

这种自后向前推进的翻译方法就是“倒译法”。

[例]The man in the street scarcely realizes that many forms of business, some major industries, and one or two minor professions could be completely abolished without gravely injuring American society; whereas the disappearance – or even what we see in some quarters, the continuous neglect and degradation- of the teaching profession must mean a disaster to the entire nation.[原译]美国街上的男人很少可以认识到许多行业、一些主要的工业和一两个不重要的职业完全可以废除而不会严重影响到美国社会;然而,教师职业的消失以及长期忽视、贬低教师职业的做法一定会成为整个民族的灾难。

[改译]在美国,许多行业可以完全停业,某些主要工业可以废除,一两个次要职业也可以完全取消,而不致严重影响到美国社会;但如果没有教师这个职业,或者像在某些地区那样,教育事业长期未受到重视,因而每况愈下,那么就整个国家而言,必将是一场灾难。

关于这一点,一般人是很少认识到的。

[译文评析]英语原文的结构比较繁杂,但原译没有摆脱英语结构的束缚,造成译文可读性很差,译文的意思也很迁就。

首先,改译采用倒译法,按照汉语的表达习惯,先译细节内容,再译总结性话语,行文自然,重心突出,所以把英语句首的强调语势部分The man in the street scarcely realizes放在句子末尾翻译,突出了原文的中心意思(即,“关于这一点,一般人是很少认识到的”)。
